Literacy

English is vital for communicating with others in school and in the wider world, and is fundamental to learning in all curriculum subjects. In studying English, pupils develop skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing that they will need to participate in society and employment. Pupils learn to express themselves creatively and imaginatively and to communicate with others confidently and effectively.

The Literacy curriculum at H.H. Sheikh Khalifa Public School provides opportunities for pupils to:

experiment with a range of approaches, produce different outcomes and play with language

engage in specific activities that develop speaking and listening skills

evaluate and respond constructively to their own and others performances

make extended contributions, individually and in groups

develop speaking, listening and writing skills through work that makes cross-curricular links with other subjects

participate actively in drama workshops and discuss with actors, playwrights, directors and other drama professionals the impact and meaning of different ways of performing and staging drama, wherever possible
